Procedure:
Each Step of the Strategy:
1. Hook:
a. Have students close their eyes as the teacher reads aloud the visualization.
Students will record their answers to the following questions in their packet:
i. How did you feel during this experience?
ii. How did you feel after the experience?
iii. What do you think will happen now?
b. Students will share with the person next to them their answers. As a class, discuss
any similar emotions found amongst partners.
2. Background Knowledge: Introduce the book The Other Side to the students. Read to
page 8. Then, the teacher will read the story a second time. The students will be
instructed to list all of the important details and text evidence that they hear while
listening on the second page of their packet.
3. Groups:
a. The students will randomly choose a grouping stick labeled from numbers 1-20.
Each table will have a number in groups of 5 (1-5, 6-10, 11-15, and 16-20).
Students will go to their assigned table.
b. The students will collaborate with their group the facts and evidence they
recorded. Students will create at least three questions that they will need to
completely understand the problem.
c. As a class, the teacher will randomly call out different numbers and that number
from the group will share one question. The class will compare questions to see
what others were thinking.
d. Students will then move onto Step 2: Problem Finding. As a group, students will
brainstorm any problems that may result from the two girls not being able to play
together. Remind students that no idea is too crazy. The brainstorming should
have quantity, wild and crazy, relate/go off of the ideas of others, and contain no
judgment. Students may refer to Rules of Brainstorming hand out in packet.
e. Teacher will randomly ask students to share answers (call on someone wearing
red, birthday month, oldest person, etc.).
f. After hearing all of the results based off of the problem, students will create a
problem statement.
i. Remind students that this statement starts off with a question word, how,
and therefore needs to be written as one (question mark).
ii. For example, when referring to the environment, the problem statement
could be how might we create and enforce laws to reduce pollution?
1. This question has both the problem and the solutionthe problem
is pollution, and the solution would be to create and enforce laws.
class. The teacher will specifically look for text evidence, thick questioning, reasonable
problems/solutions, the evaluation of their solution, reflection, and quality of work/work ethic.
Technology Integration:
Technology will be utilized for students synthesis (presentations). Students will be able to use
technology to conduct research on the problem they believe is in the story and additional
questions they may have. Technology may include chromebooks, ipads, and desktops.
Differentiation:
Low (including students in RTI/ESOL): These students will be able to create a video/voice
recording answering each question in the packet instead of writing. Students may also choose to
draw pictures or use clipart to explain their thinking/create their action plan.
Synthesisstudents will have different options to portray their knowledge/ability when
explaining the action plan.
On Level: Students will create a criteria chart using a minimum of three problems, solutions, and
criteria.
High: Students must create a criteria chart using five problems, solutions, and criteria.
Extension:
Option 1: Students will read the rest of the story. Students will compare/contrast their action plan
to the one the author wrote. Students will analyze the solutions and decide which one is best for
the character. Students may choose from the previous synthesis, including writing a letter to the
author, explaining their beliefs.
Option 2: Students will read another book from the author. Students will compare/contrast the
problems/solutions of each story, as well as story elements and text structure. Students will create
a book mimicking the authors writing style. The book must include a problem and solution.
